Such voting rights will, until exercise of the PDR, be retained and exercised by GHI. In addition, holders of PDRs cannot bring derivative actions against the Company as holders of PDRs. Under the Philippine Constitution, the Common Shares can only be owned by Philippine citizens and by corporations or associations wholly-owned and managed by i Philippine citizens. The PDRs may be owned by any person regardless of citizenship or nationality. However, the exercise of a PDR is subject to the foregoing nationality restriction. See “Terms and Conditions of the Offer” and “Philippine Foreign Investment, Foreign Ownership and Exchange Controls”.

Each of GHI and the Selling Shareholders has granted the Stabilizing Agent named herein an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of listing and when trading of the Common Shares and PDRs on the Philippine Stock Exchange (“PSE”) begins (the “Listing Date”), to purchase or place up to 123,317,000 PDRs at the PDR Offer Price, and up to 13,701,000 Common Shares at the Share Offer Price, representing up to 15% of the Combined Offer, on the same terms and conditions as the PDRs and Offer Shares as set forth in this Prospectus, solely to cover over-allotments (the “Over-allotment Option”). See “Plan of Distribution”. In connection with the Combined Offer, the Stabilizing Agent may effect price stabilization transactions for a period which shall not exceed 30 days from the Listing Date. The Stabilizing Agent may purchase PDRs or Common Shares on behalf of the Selling Shareholders in the open market only if the market price of the PDRs or Common Shares is below the PDR Offer Price or Share Offer Price, respectively. This may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the PDRs or Common Shares and may also cause the price of the PDRs or Common Shares to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. If the Stabilizing Agent commences any of these transactions, it may discontinue them, as it may determine in its reasonable discretion, at any time. The Stabilizing Agent is required to disclose to the Philippine SEC and to the PSE any of the foregoing price stabilization transactions.

Through the Domestic Share Offer and the Primary PDR Offer and based on the Share Offer Price and PDR Offer Price set forth above, the Company expects to raise gross proceeds of=1,552,882,000. P The net proceeds from the Domestic Share Offer and Primary PDR Offer, determined by deducting from the gross proceeds the total issue management, underwriting and selling fees, listing fees, taxes and other related fees and expenses, which are estimated not to exceed 8.3% of proceeds of the Domestic Share ii Offer and Primary PDR Offer, will be used primarily for improvements to existing facilities and investments in capacity expansion. A portion of the net proceeds will also be used by the Company for general corporate purposes.

  • DVD Piracy As Alternative Media: the Scandal of Piracy, and the Piracy of “Scandal” in the Philippines, 2005–2009
    MARIA F. MANGAHAS 109 Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies 2014 29 (1): 109–139 DVD Piracy as Alternative Media: The Scandal of Piracy, and the Piracy of “Scandal” in the Philippines, 2005–2009 MARIA F. MANGAHAS ABSTRACT. Some digital materials which are documentary of specific forms of social transgression comprise an apparent “market niche” for piracy. “Scandals” as unique commodities in the Philippines’s informal market for pirated disks are quite distinct from other digital entertainment, being originally candid/unstaged or “stolen”/taken without their subject’s knowledge and usually made to non-professional standards/ equipment. Enterprisingly put on the market by pirate-entrepreneurs because of apparent consumer-audience interest in the content, such unique “reality” goods became conveniently available through networks of digital piracy outlets. In the context of consumption of pirated goods, the article reads “scandals” as expressive of everyday critique and resistance. The niche market for “scandals” functions as alternative media as these digital goods inherently evade government and (formal) corporate control as sources of news and entertainment. Indicators of the significance of “scandal” in the informal economy and the meaningful convergence between its piracy and consumer- audience demand are examined ethnographically: their translation into commodities through packaging, the range of sites for consumers to access “scandals,” pirate- entrepreneurs’ sales strategies and standards, and how the market behavior of these “scandals” apparently responded to the unfolding of the social scandals in real time as current events—events that themselves were influenced by the popular circulation and piracy of these commodities. Three cases that took place between 2005–2009—“Hello Garci,” the “Kat/Kho sex scandals,” and the “Maguindanao massacre” DVD—serve as diverse examples, each with their own issues of authenticity, morality, and social effects consequent to piracy and consumption.
